About Our World in Data

Non-Profit Research Organisation · Global

Our World in Data is a non-profit research and data publication initiative based at the University of Oxford, aimed at making global data on major development challenges freely accessible and understandable. It aggregates, cleans, and republishes data from primary sources (IEA, BP, IRENA, Global Carbon Project, and others) covering global energy consumption, electricity generation by source, CO₂ emissions, and related indicators for virtually every country. All datasets and visualisations are freely available under open licences.
